IMPROVEMENT IN STOVE -POLl SHES.

Specification fonnirg part of Letters Patent No. 206,868, dated August 13, L375; npplicni ion filed June 12, 1878.

'0 all whom it may concern: w

Be it known that I, IIIRAM J. Dmzman, of the city and county of Philadelphia, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Stove-Polish, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification.

My inventionconsists'of a stove-polish of the form of paste. In preparing this compound 1 take, say, one hundred pounds of a ionified fat tallow, or w sixty -five pounds of L- rnde lllllIll)l"O, two pounds of silicate of soda, and two pounds of glycerine. e plum bago is added to the sapom 0 fat in a hot state, after which the silicate of soda and glycerine are added,,likewise in a hot state, the result being a mass of pasty consistency, said mass being retained in the form of a paste by the use of the glycerine.

For cold climates, five parts-of some saccharine substance m'aybeaddedto the 1m prevent congealing thereof. 1

I am aware that it is not new to form astovepolish of plumbago, soap, and gl ycerine. Pure or purified plulnbago is expensive for the purpose'of a stove-polish. The foreign matter in the crude material exists in greatquantities; and while th is thrown aside in other cases 1 utilize it as a body, and yet preserve all the properties of the pure plumbago, while the preparation is made at small expense.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, -is- Thecomposition of matter or stove-polish consisting of saponilied fat, crude plnmbago,

and gl veerine, in combination with silicate of soda, substantially as and for the purpose setforth. M
